Podcast retiree Marc Maron hits HBO for the second time this August
After becoming the first comedian ever to end a podcast, Marc Maron returns to the stand-up stage for his second HBO special. Earlier this month, to the dismay and relief of What the Fuckers, What The Fuckaneers, and What the Fuckaricans across the the globe, Maron called it day for his long-running, hugely influential, possibly world-ruining podcast, WTF With Marc Maron. Alas, while his days of—POW!—just shitting his pants have come to an end, that doesn’t mean he’s retiring from complaining about the world, his love life, and his cats, too. Maron’s second HBO special, Panicked, will premiere on August 1.
“I feel that this is the best work I’ve ever done,” Maron said. “Everything came together. The direction, the production design, the shirt and the bits. HBO gets me and I’m thrilled to be presented by them.”
